Book excerpt: Moravia, the prolific writer and translator, whose long career spanned periods of radical change in his native Rome, as in Italy, was a great observer of daily life. Italian newspapers frequently asked him for articles on every subject, making him a public voice. This volume takes the form of a year of interviews conducted with the author Elkann during 1989-1990, the last year of Moravia's life. Of interest to students of Italian literature and history and anyone who enjoys reading about writers, this volume provides a personal view of politics in Italy (as a boy, Moravia watched Mussolini's troops enter Rome), the writers from many countries whom he knew, his life, and his writing.
